Dream Corps - Volunteers
This is an awesome opportunity to get involved with rural education in China. You get to work with some of the most passionate and motivated native Chinese students I have known and experience first-hand the life of and the problems faced by the majority of Chinese people who still live in villages scattered across the country. You will also shape the growth of a new NGO desperate to extend its reach in China. Above all, you will have a lot of fun and come back to the US with a memorable (or perhaps life-changing) China experience that NO study-abroad program can provide. You don't need to know Chinese to participate - all you need is a great heart to help these children who are much less fortunate than us. Feel free to email Danxie (Danxia_Xie@ksg06.harvard.edu) if you have further enquiries. Thanks!
Deadline for application is March 10. Information and application forms can be found at http://www.dreamcorps.org
Our Mission - To foster dreams in the young so that their lives are not held hostage to existing economic, educational, and digital divides.
Our Action - We organize volunteer activities in impoverished areas of China to promote education, community space, local initiative, and sustainable development. We also aim at enhancing social awareness and participation of overseas Chinese students, scholars and professionals through engaging them in such activities.
Our Origin - The Dream Corps is the brainchild of a group of Chinese students at Duke University who felt compelled to live up to their social responsibility. It was registered with the State of North Carolina in May 2004 and was granted 501(c)(3), i. e., non-profit, status in November 2004. We received critical initial support from Duke Asian Pacific Studies Institute and UNC Department of Asian Studies.
Our Base - We are based in Durham, North Carolina but have representatives at Harvard, Indiana University at Bloomington, Peking University (Beijing), Princeton, Stanford, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and University of Toronto as well as in the D. C. and New York/New Jersey areas.
